The snow here in south Dublin is weird, it looks pretty heavy but it's so fine and doesn't appear to be making much difference to snow levels on the ground.

I assume this is only the beginning and we'll get "real" snow sometime during the night?

We've nice ice crystals in the windows though.
But yeah, where's the blizzard?

Good to hear, I was wincing with the frustration from arklow people earlier with all the snow we have here.

What about giving people time to get home? Allowing for poor driving conditions? Think please.

I think people can do the necessary basic maths on their journey times themselves. ME didnt werent forcasting what time people should go home - they claim to have been forecasting the start of the blizzard. Bid fail.

I thought the blizzards would be more dense. I've experienced one in my life and visibility was very low.

They haven't started yet.;)

No they didnt, They have knew this timeline the whole time. Seems like alot of people on this thread incapable of basic math.

It was snowing all day in North County Dublin but for the first time it has turned to sleet. I think this could change to rain not snow. I wouldn't be complaining if it does don't want anymore. Still very strong winds here.

I think it might be a good idea for people to end their posts with their location, particularly when mentioning the conditions they are experiencing. Light dusting of snow here so far. Nothing major. Galway

Absolutely lashing rain in D13 again. Those snowmen outside look more like snow melts now.

If moaning was an Olympic sport Ireland would take gold every fcuking time.


Limerick City finally getting it now though it is very fine. Looks like someone threw a big bag of coke over the city

Predicting and tracking course and speed of a weather front is not like downloading an app to your iphone. It is nature - it is unpredictable. ME did a pretty good job in tracking the course of this. They also allowed a few hours buffer from 4pm. Plenty of people were stuck on horrendous roads getting home from work. Look at what happened in Scotland yesterday - hundreds of people stuck in cars overnight. What on earth is all of this anti-ME stuff about?

RTE keep saying Wicklow and Dublin will get the most snow but every single chart I've seen has Carlow/Kilkenny/Wexford being dumped more so than Dublin.

F*ck all snow here in Carlow, very disappointing!

I am so confused. Been snowing pretty much all day here in D9 and yet my car current has not got more than a handful of snow on it and less now than 2 hours ago....is there a melt on or is it just blown away? Either way seems calmer than earlier
